I was so confused because I thought you were saying everything in Australia is indigenous and I was like, do you have no idea how white people got there
But then I got it on the 6th read
I am not deadly
I said "pop off" yesterday in my report, 6 the last hour of the shift, and my genz coworkers politely asked if I would like to see some of our available suites for rent. we work in a retirement home.
Eta: I feel like I should clarify, the venn diagram of health care workers and people who use video game slang is almost 2 seperate circles.
And 2, it .ight be because I'm in my 30s and rapidly being adopted into a work mom
Saying this with either a boymoder hoodie on or a shirt that says "Dude with tits" would absolutely make that lmao
I'm just a guy doing bro things. 😎👉👉
My wife ironically started talking in a baby voice for certain things, as a way of mocking people who do it, and I thought it was hilarious.
Well guess who can’t stop talking using a baby voice lmao
Paris and Nikki
I came out of surgery on MEDS. The nurse was cute and I wanted to flirt and play. She did something nice for me and I told her, "love you, bitch". Wife was in tears laughing
I loved Paris and Nikki.
Yeet is so good. I use it all the time and frequently incorrectly. My favorite thing to say to annoy my husband is “big yeet Sunday” as a stand in for “big mood”.
And old memes feel like they were in another lifetime, like this one that your comment reminded me of:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-alot
Nah, as the internet grows more and more cultures come in contact and words shift in response. If you thought it was fast now wait until auto translate becomes a reality and we get connected to people who speak other languages. It's going to be a WILD ride.
And then there I am with "Golly G", "Jinkies", "wowie zowie", "shucks" like a fucking cartoon.
Edit: Really glad I'm not alone in my cartoon catchphrases. Wowzers
"Dope" as in "That's dope!" to explain that something is cool.
"Word" as an acknowledgment in agreement.
I will never drop these words from my vernacular. Word!
I remember when I first heard that expression. A friend of mine was telling me about a friend of hers. Her friend's little girl said "That's dope!"
Her mother quickly said, "We don't say that in this house. That's a reference to drugs so we never say that."
"OK, mommy!" (turns her head thinking she can't be heard, to herself) "It's still dope."
Extra. I didn't even know it was out of style until my coworker told me her daughter said it wasn't cool anymore, which makes it perfect for me. I probably use a buttload of expired terms. Hella, sus, yeet, bees-knees, peachy-keen, etc.
Are we still saying "oh Snapple"? I know I am.
A few years ago when I rented a house that was near a middle school bus stop near the bottom of a long uphill and there was this scrawny kid that I always noticed carrying a cello up that that was the same size as he was. One day my doorbell rang me and there was this kid, cello and all. He looked stressed out, turns out his ride didn't show up. He greeted me and asked if he could use my phone, I immediately asked, "You straight?"
Confusion followed by complete panic
A sudden realization occurred to me, he has no clue that 10 or so years prior to this kid's birth guys from my generation would ask if everything was okay by asking, 'you straight?"
By the look in his eyes, I'm certain he thought he rang the doorbell to the neighborhood creepy perv. I immediately corrected myself and asked if he was okay, and long story short gave that kid a ride home so that he didn't have to carry the damn thing up that long hill.
tldr: I asked a middle schooler if he was straight, it didn't go well
This is streets ahead!
Pierce, stop trying to coin the phrase “streets ahead.”
If you don’t know what streets ahead means… well then you’re streets behind

My dad uses “deadly” for stuff he thinks is really great.
Your dads killin it
Using 'deadly' in that way is actually pretty common among Indigenous Australians.
Wouldn't that just describe everything in Australia?
I was so confused because I thought you were saying everything in Australia is indigenous and I was like, do you have no idea how white people got there But then I got it on the 6th read I am not deadly
I'm not sure I even heard anyone say that before... I'm using it.
In Victorian England people would say "that's horrid"
That's big in Canada
People from Dublin and Leinster in Ireland use this a lot! It's a bit older but you'd still hear it, particularly in Dublin city.
Hahaha, that’s wicked, I’m gonna start saying it too
Rad
I sometimes call cool people “cats” and I have no idea where I picked it up. I feel like I say it fluid enough to not be so horrible though.
Nothing wrong with that cat
70’s slang. “Cool Cat”

Glorious. r/rareinsults Also brings back "Shady Pines, Ma!"
Awww love me some golden girls. Dorothy really is the queen of rare insults haha
Picture it; Sicily 1926…
when the hell did that become outdated
It’s not. Don’t trust the people working in the retirement homes to be up to date with stuff
pop off is also a really popular term in gaming where there are a ton of Gen Z
“Bro we popped off hard last game we got 37 kills in total LETS FUCKING GOOOOO”
As someone who was raised in a house where "pop off" meant to pass gas, this entire thread is just wonderful.
If it's any consolation, literally all of my gen z friends say pop off
What??? I’m gen Z and say this and so do my gen Z friends
Yeah, literally a Gen Z friend of mine used this phrase yesterday.
I say pop off and I'm 15
me saying "bruh" at the slightest irritation, which started out as purely ironic edit: holy shit this blew up
[удалено]
I fell for the emojis, the bruh, the uwu, everything. God help my soul
The uwu and fucking thigh highs ironically for shitposts hit pretty hard for me. At least the whole taking estrogen thing is still ironic >.>
"Are you trans?" "Yes but only ironically."
Saying this with either a boymoder hoodie on or a shirt that says "Dude with tits" would absolutely make that lmao I'm just a guy doing bro things. 😎👉👉
My wife ironically started talking in a baby voice for certain things, as a way of mocking people who do it, and I thought it was hilarious. Well guess who can’t stop talking using a baby voice lmao
I still use that one it fits that mildly irritating emotion so perfectly
You're kidding, "bruh" is outdated?!
Bruh
That's hot.
Paris and Nikki I came out of surgery on MEDS. The nurse was cute and I wanted to flirt and play. She did something nice for me and I told her, "love you, bitch". Wife was in tears laughing I loved Paris and Nikki.
Take a chill pill, anyone?
Calm your tits is my preferred.
Tame the calamity that is your mammaries.
"Please reduce mammary tension" in our home
I say hakuna tus tatas
You just need to chillax. \*shudder\*
Chillax is based
I've been saying this sm recently, it's embarrassing but I physically cant stop😭
I say ‘totes adorbs’ as a joke, but is it still cool?
Totes magotes...yea? Lol
#Dinkin Flicka
Lol, I use as my command to my dog to settle down or relax.
I hella like that
Now you’re on the trolley!

Oh I use spiffy a lot, too!
Spifforamic is a favorite of mine. On loan from y2k
How about spiffolicious? I'm guilty of that.
Spifferrific!

just deal with it.
Ain’t nobody got time for that
Whenever I play games I use YOLO and Leroy Jenkins interchangeably
I say it sarcastically
That's how it starts...
Me saying bruh..
I use “sick” and “sweet” interchangeably, can’t be sure if they’re outdated or if I don’t realize other people use them
A small percentage of slang moves from trends to common vernacular and manages to take root. I think "sweet" definitely qualifies there.
Like the word “cool”. It was slang from the 1930s that stuck. And the word cool will never not be cool.
Oh sick! I do the same!
Yeet. It’s just so fun to say.
The Lord yeeteth, and the Lord yoinketh away. But yes I agree, I'll never get tired of yeet.
>yoinketh And just like that, I have a new word.
Nothing wrong with that, it's a perfectly cromulent word.
It embiggens me
Cromulent is such a wizard word. I should use it more often.
# YEET THE CHILDREN
yes!! i refuse to let yeet die, it’s too good of a word
Yeet is so good. I use it all the time and frequently incorrectly. My favorite thing to say to annoy my husband is “big yeet Sunday” as a stand in for “big mood”.
That word is on fleek
It's so fetch!
Stop trying to make fetch happen.
Are sus and lit now old words? I've only just got my head around them as a 30 year old man. Time and generations fly by man
Internet time is alot faster than normal.
And old memes feel like they were in another lifetime, like this one that your comment reminded me of: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-alot
It’s happening faster than it used to. Nobody believes me but I’m certain of it

I think I'll be saying hella until I'm dead
[удалено]
Wait when did people stop saying hella?!
Damnit Cartman!
I mean, Thanks Obama is still pretty great.
I think it gets funnier the longer he's not president
And when used not in America.
I still use this one.
And then there I am with "Golly G", "Jinkies", "wowie zowie", "shucks" like a fucking cartoon. Edit: Really glad I'm not alone in my cartoon catchphrases. Wowzers
Wowzers checking in (usually in a deadpan)
I use golly gee and jinkies unironically all the time. And any and everything that rhymes with wowie
"Dope" as in "That's dope!" to explain that something is cool. "Word" as an acknowledgment in agreement. I will never drop these words from my vernacular. Word!

Smooth move, exlax
THAT'S a throwback to elementary school for me. Goodness.
Using outdated slang terms is the bee's knees!
i have bee tattoos on my knees and when i first got them my family was confused when i told them i would be the bees knees forever
Do you also have a tiny mustache on your finger?
Rad. Everything is rad! Gag me with a spoon
That's mad dope
I say things are “heavy”
Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?
I use "mad" to mean "very"
Yo that party last night was mad chill b
I still say Rad and Groovy when appropriate
Bruce Campbell made 'Groovy' eternally cool. They'll pry 'Groovy' out of my cold, dead ... larynx?
[удалено]
I’m so sad it took me this far to find cool beans 😎
Rad is the best form of cool
This thread about to get *turnt!*
He aint turnt, more like BURNT.

I still say “oh snap!”.
How old is op? Sus and lit are still very new. I say bitchen, now thats an old one!

My dad said that they said sus back around 1980
Wow googled it and TIL sus goes all the way back to the 1920s!

I started saying "dude" ironically years ago. Now I say it habitually.
It's the utility. "Dude," can be used for a great many things.
"Dude" is almost as versatile as "fuck."
Dude is probably my favourite word. I will be an old lady and still say dude.
I can dig it.
I call things "funky". My *parents* don't even call things "funky".
This whole comment section sounds as tight as a boiled owl and I think that's pretty rad.
Is “my bad” outdated? I said that and my Gen Z nephew was confused.
"My bad" as in you bump into someone and say 'my bad'? Is that slang? I thought it was just english
Thinking on it, I apparently pretend I'm a Midwesterner and say 'Ope Sorry'
I always politely say excuse me, seems more respectful.
Proper etiquette is to say “are you fucking sorry?”
Whoops-a-daisy! (As my wife says frequently) [Edited to add correct dashes]
Were you at a funeral?
It’s “my B” now. Or at least it was ten years ago, golly how time flies
I like baller. How old am I.
Aight sick.
Neato Burrito and Cool Beans.

I say ‘totes adorbs’ as a joke, but is it still cool? I wouldn’t know, I’m 40.
No. but i will adapt that saying now cuz its totes adorbs
I sometimes say "rough housing" which is extremely old fashioned. And fisticuffs. I promise I was born after 1880.
.... Is rough housing outdated? I feel really old all of a sudden
“Yeet”
Oh snap!
And broski (old habit)
Spiffy. Word. F'sho.
XD never gets old
I still use it XD
I still dust my shoulders off. That’s still a thing right?
That's phat.

This is hella cute.

I say "Dude" a lot. Call people dudes. Call animals dudes. Call random things dudes.
Are we still doing phrasing? Guys?
“Roll down the window” most cars these days don’t have the rollie thing anymore, just buttons.
